Chapter 688

When Avery glanced at her phone, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she answered the call.

“Avery!” Elliot’s roaring voice penetrated through the phone.

Avery was taken aback, then asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re alright?” It was as if he was surprised to hear her voice. “You’re alright, Avery!”

“I’m fine. Were you hoping something happened to me?” Avery teased.

“Who told you I wasn’t alright?”

“Someone saw you at a restaurant and said you were in trouble.” Elliot’s voice returned to its usual
calm.

“It’s a good thing it wasn’t you.”

“Oh. If that’s the case, the woman must look a lot like me… Could she have been Nora?” Avery
deliberately said this.

Elliot was not interested in this at all. “I don’t care who it was, as long as it wasn’t you.”

Avery responded.

“Where are you right now?” Elliot asked after two seconds of9e silence.

“I’m eating out with Tammy.”

“Did you bring the bodyguard?” he pestered.



“I did,” Avery said as she glanced at the bodyguard standing nearby.

“Go home once you’re done eating.”

“I’m going for a haircut later. I already made an appointment.” She was not going to change her
schedule because of this.

“I’ll be fine.”

“Send me the salon’s address,” Elliot said after a moment’s consideration.

Avery hung up the phone and sent him the address to the hair salon.

At the police station, Cole strode out of the building after giving his statement.

A tall woman was standing by his car. It was Chelsea Tierney.

Cole’s expression instantly turned anxious. He glanced around him, then hurried over.

“What are you doing here, Chelsea?” he asked as he arrived in front of her.

“This is the police station. Don’t do anything rash.”

Chelsea glared coldly at him and said, “Since you’re afraid of me, then why did you set me up?”

“I didn’t! How could I possibly do that? I didn’t tell my uncle about us working together!”

Cole said with an innocent expression on his face.

“Do you take me for a fool?! I was wondering why you suddenly looked for her the other day… Did
Avery Tate make you come to hook me in?” Chelsea gritted her teeth, “This was all Avery Tate’s plan,
wasn’t it?!”



“Why are you getting so worked up, Chelsea?” Cole teased as he calmed down.

“Did you get too used to being treated like a princess? You can mess with others, but they can’t do the
same to you? You and Nora made plan after plan to set up Avery. It’s a blessing that she hasn’t hired
someone to assassinate you both! Besides, none of this would’ve happened if you didn’t hold ill will
against her!”

When Cole called Chelsea the other day, he had told her that he was short on money and wanted to
work with her.

The plan was for Cole to coax Avery into coming out, and Chelsea would pay him.

Chelsea had agreed to this without much consideration.She did not expect for the woman that Cole
met up with to be Nora instead of Avery.

The man in black that she hired could not differentiate the slight differences between Avery and Nora,
so he attacked right away!

Now that tragedy had struck, it was too late for remorse.

Avery’s move was despicable!

“This is between you and Avery, Chelsea. If you’re really that mad, go and look for her. I won’t get
involved in any of your affairs from now on, so please don’t trouble me!” Cole wiped himself clean of
the drama, then got into his car

Chelsea clenched her fists as she held back tears.She was not going to give up this easily!

Half an hour later, Elliot received a call from Chelsea.

“Elliot! My cousin was disfigured! She said Avery Tate did it,” Chelsea sobbed.



“I knew she suspected Nora of impersonating her, but how could she do this when she could not find
any proof? She’s completely ruined Nora’s life!”

At that moment, Elliot was with Avery at the hair salon.
